WAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

On Thursday we were going to go camping but because it was awful weather and we just plain couldn't be bothered we cooked fajitas and made a FORT! As if we were 10-year-old kids again! We sat in the fort drinking and watching programmes such as Geordie Shore and me and Cabes (Oh, and George her bear...) slept in it! Was totes bon.

THEN CAME FRIDAY AKA RESULTS DAY AKA LIFE CHANGING DAY! Finally after three years of work we'd find out if we passed our degrees! WE ALL DID! I got a 2:2! So pleased. It's what I said I've wanted since I first came to university. I never pushed myself to get a 2:1, no matter how hard I tried or how many different approaches I took, I just couldn't get my coursework higher than a 2:2! Exams, however were different. I got 2:1's in every one! Still, the average brought it down to a 2:2 and I am so pleased! Ironically, the exam I thought I'd failed and would have to resit is the exam I did best in...

Last night we went to The Venue and got drunk! Was bon. Cabes of course, got emotional and kept wondering off and Broomy's feet hurt so we left at about 1! We randomly gave ourselves the nicknames Broomstick, Chopstick and Cinnamonstick haha.

Today I packed some more and then went to town to meet Broomy from work! We went for our last ever carve whilst we are students with Cabes! Was really good but for the first time EVER none of us got second helpings! How odd of us! Then we walked through a cemetery to Hillside for the last time (well, for me). I grabbed the last of my belongings that were there and dashed. I don't think any of us wanted to make a big thing of it because it's really hard to comprehend. We said a goodbye and I just left. It's so weird. Broomy and Cabes are the best people, not seeing them at LEAST once a week is not a thought I can deal with easily. I'm really depressed!!!

I'm going to get drunk on cheap wine and eat humous and wraps in homage to my beloved Katie Elizabeth Cable whilst I pack the rest of my stuff up. Tomorrow I move back to Essex and back in with my parents for good and my university life is then pretty much over, except for graduation.

Just a quickie...

Tonight I went to Hillside and Cabes cooked a buffting dinner of sweet and sour chicken with rice mmmmm, oh wow - totes bon yah?

Then we chilled for a bit...

...and then I had to say goodbye to E3's finest the one and only (taking it back to the old school) East London (Chinchilla, China). This was bad times and she cried (what can I say, I tend to make a deep impact on peoples lives...). I don't think it really hit me until NOW. It's 2am and I wanna kill myself hahaha. So depressed. Think what's gonna happen this week has finally hit me. Really on a downer about this all.

Alas, I can't wait to see Chin back in Essex and to go Faces & Nu :-).

Peace x

Bonbonbonbonbon...BON!

The end is approaching so quickly, I dislike. Not bon.

We had our last EVER Artsfest on Saturday. The weather was okay...it started raining at one point and after trying to stay dry we gave up and just embraced it in our drunken state. After that I was loving life! We went back to Hillside for some food and then headed back to campus for the fireworks and to listen to some of the DJ. It was incredible! The fireworks were so good and we had so much fun with the DJ. I, of course showed off my running man :-). The new system meant that there was a fence the whole way round the field and we had to go through these barriers to get in. So long, because of this and the weather it felt quite empty but it was still a good time. We were all worried about the limitations they'd put on taking alcohol in so me and Broomy went to loads of effort of piercing a hole in a cranberry carton, buying and using a funnel to pour vodka in, then covering it up with paper and tape so it wasn't noticeable...only to find when we got there they didn't even care about the amount of alcohol we were gonna take in! NOT BON.

On Monday me, Cabes & Broomy finally did our boat tour! It was the best thing ever, I loved learning about the history and George our tour guide was an absolute LAD! Afterwards we had lunch by the river and it was well nice. Then we went to the cathedral and shockingly it was my first time there!!! I wish I'd gone before, it was the nicest building ever. We're lucky to graduate from there, so lucky!

That night we went to the works...and got very, very drunk (well me, at least). I lost my glasses...TWICE (and found them twice, with the help of Cabes ;-)). We played with the ballpit balls ha. The lens on my camera broke and whilst I was fiddling with my camera and the settings and taking photos to see if I'd fixed it some big, fat, ugly, beast of a heffa turned to me and said 'ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES OF ME FROM BEHIND?' Errrr no love, maybe if you loose a few I'd wanna perve on you! I then persisted to prove to her that I hadn't and made her look through all my photos. GUTTED. Waste.

Yesterday I met Broomy in the gardens by my house and then we met Cabes and headed towards these random gardens by the river that George told us about on this tiny island. It was the nicest place EVER! Again, wish I'd discovered it and been before!! After chilling for a bit we went home and I met Cabes that evening to go to Brian's (ha) for a beer and to see some live music. They were well good. One of the band members was well arrogant though, wearing his sunglasses and making demands here and there! He even insisted people bring him one of these chairs so that he could 'look like Snoop Dogg', oh wow...

Me and Cabes have realised saying 'oh wow...' makes us sound really sarcastic. Ha! Love it though!

Anyway, tonight I'm saying goodbye to Chinchilla :-( bad times. Her and most others are going to beach break tomorrow. It's not gonna be fun tonight!!!!

This week is going TOO QUICKLY. Want it to last forever. Been the bonnest week I've had at Uni so far! Still, one week today until Glasto!!

Now, on with packing up my room...

...and now, the end is near.

SO CLOSE. Don't want it to come. Won't think about it yet. Still have a week and a day or two.

I've been so rubbish at doing this which is annoying as when I leave Uni I'm going to close this blog.

I went home for a wedding. It was nice. We all got drunk as always with weddings and we had a buffting chicken and apricot stuffing dinner.

Came back for our last ever Summer Ball at Kent Uni. We all knew this year was gonna be rubbish compared to previous years. Last year we had Florence & The Machine, Feeder & Tinie Tempah playing, the year before we had Dizzee and I'm unsure who else, this year we had...McFly, Everything Everything & Tinchy...Not bon. They had less rides and less people went which actually was a good thing but yeah, not as good as most years. Still had fun though. Ditched McFly in favour of the bumper cars as there was less of a queue :-).

Had my first proper job interview, was scary. Dunno how it went.

Came back for Boomen's 21st. Totes bon. Had THE tiniest paddling pool and another slightly larger one filled with ice cubes and alcohol, shish, loads of shots, pin the tail on the donkey and a pinata! Was a lot of laughs. Me and Katie made one of our freshers-style cocktails consisting of wine, cider, beer, vodka, gin and cranberry - it was soooooo nice! Loved it and it got us nicely drunk :-). Went Venue and actually had a really good night. Drunk loads more and spent lots more than one would hope but hey-ho, making the most of my last couple of weeks! Katie kept having breakdowns after saying her first 'proper goodbye' and we all got a bit depressed when they were playing old songs from back in our freshers days...

Today I went round to Hillside for a bit, then went to town with Katie to keep her company as she collected photos before a meal. WELL, we got SO drenched. WORST WEATHER EVER!!!! The streets were flooded! My plimsoles are ruined and had puddles in them, and my jeans were soaked through! Katie was a drama llama when we got on the bus and she couldn't close her umbrella ella ella, was fun times but not bon for her. After her meal I met her again, went to Hillside again and chilled for a bit. She started packing her stuff up and NOW I AM REALLY DEPRESSED!!!!

Tomorrow is our last ever Artsfest. Todays weather would have sufficiently ruined the field already and as more rain is expected tomorrow we are unsure what this is gonna mean. Weather is always FIT for it usually. Annoying that they have changed it and it's a ticket system with a huge fence caging us in this year AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE ALCOHOL LIMIT!!!! I'm gonna spend so much money on alcohol there I can tell. Alas, if anything makes the day crappy we're just gonna come back to mine for a final basement party. Oh wow, totes bon yah?
